Construction taking place in hotel
Unfortunately we were not made aware of construction taking place in the hotel. We would not have booked this hotel if we were made aware. Really disappointed as our restful break wasn't very relaxing.

2/10 Poor

We rented two rooms for a 2-night stay at this hotel. The location is perfect! The employes are very pleasant. That is the end of the positives. Both rooms had the smell of sewage. As you walk into the bathroom, you can hear the pipes struggling with the sewage. The smell was horrible. Both nights we called reception. Reception came to both rooms and added spray that did not help. The manager, Luis, was rude, loud and honestly, did not care to even help. His solution was for us to contact Hotels.com. To me, he should not be in that position. We traveled Portugal for 12 days and this was the ONLY bad experience we had. I recommend finding another hotel until this sewer issue is resolved and Luis is replaced with another manager willing to help. At a minimum, it is off-season, and he should have offered to move us to another room. Not a pleasant situation. Let's not forget the mold in the shower! This is not sanitary.

Good room with good bed but only three pillows. The view was amazing and the breakfast buffet very good. Great,location! Nespresso coffee maker was great but only coffee pods for the first day. Plastic glasses in in plastic wrap. Not very environmental and cheap. I found this quite disappointing for a four star hotel.

4/10 Fair

Be aware this is a smoking hotel, they said no smoking in the room only on the balcony but guest do smoke in there rooms. You can smell it in the hallways . Our balcony door was left open to air out the room Ocean view Wes’s Beautiful beach was great buffet breakfast ok. Had to park quite far to find parking stay was not helpful no electrical plug in bathroom and towels were small and old. Don’t believe this is a 4 star or 8.8 in my option.
